E. AÝgmar) Z_H$ Am`wº$ PREFACE This Annual Report for the year 2013-14 brought out by the Salt Commissioner's Organisation (SCO), an attached office of the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry is an useful document which outlines the status of Indian Salt Industry, Salt Iodisation programme and various activities undertaken by the Department. In the absence of actual data in respect of small and marginal salt manufacturers, only estimated figure have been incorporated in this report. The annual report is also available on the website: www.saltcomindia.gov.in of the department. India continues to hold third position in the production of salt after China and USA. India is second largest producer of iodised salt next to China. There is still need for SCO to support the efforts of small salt producers in improving their productivity. During this year the production of salt was affected due to wide spread rain during the manufacturing season in all salt manufacturing state. Heavy rains during September/October 2013 in Gujarat has delayed season resulting in loss of production. The loss of production was partly compensated by bring additional area under salt production. The intermittent (showers) during January - February in Rajasthan has affected production. The net result was the production of salt during the period under report was 230 lakh MT against 245 lakh tons during 2012-13. The production of iodised salt was 58.47 Lac MT which is less than the targeted production but there was no scarcity of iodised salt throughout the country. Indian salt is penetrating international market due to improvement in its quality and improved infrastructure facilities at Ports. It has increased from 37.72 lakh tones during 2011-12 to 59.61 during 2013-14. The buyers' countries are China, Japan, Vietnam, UAE, Qatar, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Bhutan etc. The export was mainly for industrial application; about 2.29 lakh MT of iodised salt was exported to Nepal, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Kuwait etc. The house hold survey carried out by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and UNICEF about the consumption of adequately iodised salt reveals that 71% population has access to adequately iodised salt during 2009 against 51% during 2005. Similarly consumption of non iodised salt is reduced from 34% to 9% during aforesaid period.. The remaining 20% population has consumed inadequately iodised salt. Concerted efforts were made to popularize consumption of iodised salt. To review salt iodisation program in India Salt Commissioner Organisation, AIIMS, UNICEF, GAIN and ICCIDD are jointly carrying out a study on retention of iodine in poly packed iodised salt with passage of time. Salt Commissioner in collaboration with the MI and GAIN successfully organized meetings with stakeholders in procurement and distribution of adequate iodised salt in different states. Each place the traders, different NGO, state government official of Health Department, Food and Civil Supply Department, Education Department actively participated for the success of their program. Refined/Vacuum iodised salt is gradually replacing ordinary iodised salt due to its preference by consumer and now holds major share in the domestic market.
